St. James's Rose & Lychee Cocktail

St. James's Rose & Lychee Cocktail, St J L'Ortolan

Just a stroll away from Mayfair, Buckingham Palace and St. James's Palace, St James's Hotel and Club is one of London's most desirable addresses. With its perfect location, long history, stylish and elegant interiors and a Michelin starred restaurant, St James's Hotel has built its well deserved reputation with a formidable clientele of film stars, celebrities, authors and diplomats.

St James's Hotel and Club is also home to Seven Park Place, the deliciously small, but perfectly formed Michelin-starred restaurant by well known English Chef William Drabble who also oversees William's Bar & Bistro. A comfortable, unhurried and sophisticated atmosphere, the Bistro is perfect for light lunches, pre and post theatre dinners or for supper, while the chic bar offers an extensive selection of cocktails and an impressive choice of wine and spirits.

Renowned for their exciting range of contemporary and classic cocktails, St James's Hotel has created a special cocktail menu to celebrate the Chelsea Flower Show. Made with edible flowers this year's floral concoctions include 'Jasmine Buttercup', 'Elderflower & Basil Spray', 'Flower of Scotland' and 'Rose & Lychee Martini'.
